Be A Clown (With Peter Polycarpou) Testo

VERSE
I❝ll remember forever,
When I was but three,
Mama, who was clever.
Remarking to me❦.
If son when you❝re grown up
You want ev❝rything nice
I❝ve got your future sewn up
If you take this advice❦
REFRAIN 1
Be a clown, be a clown
All the world loves a clown
Act the fool play the calf
And you❝ll always have the last laugh
Wear the cap and the bells
And you❝ll rate with all the best swells
If you become a doctor, folks❝ll face you with dread
If you become a dentist, they❝ll be glad when you❝re dead
You❝ll get a bigger hand if you can stand on your head
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown.
REFRAIN 2
Be a clown, be a clown
All the world loves a clown
Be a crazy buffoon
And the demoiselles❝ll all swoon
Dress in huge baggy pants
And you❝ll ride the road to romance
A butcher or a baker ladies never embrace
A barber or a beau would be a social disgrace
They all❝ll come to call if you can fall on your face
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown
REFRAIN 3
Be a clown, be a clown
All the world loves a clown
Show ❝em tricks tell ❝em jokes
And you❝ll only stop with top folks
Be a crack jackanapes
And they❝ll imitate you like apes
Why be a great composer with your rent in arrears?
Why be a major poet and you❝ll owe it for years?
When crowds❝ll pay to giggle if you wiggle your ears
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown
REFRAIN 4
Be a clown, be a clown
All the world loves a clown
If you just make ❝em roar
Watch your mountebank soar
Wear a painted moustache
And you❝re sure to make a big splash
A college education I should never propose
A bachelor❝s degree won❝t even keep you in clo❝es
But millions you will win if you can spin on your nose
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown
REFRAIN 5
Be a clown, be a clown
All the world loves a clown
Be the poor silly ass
And you❝ll always travel first class
Give ❝em quips, give ❝em fun
And they❝ll apy and say you❝re A1
If you become a farmer you❝ve the weather to buck
If you become a gambler you❝ll be stuck with your luck
But Jack you❝ll never lack if you can quack like a duck
(Quack, quack, quack, quack)
Be a clown, be a clown, be a clown.
